Hi Courtney
Two seperate issues at work here. 1)It sounds like your battery is taking a bit of a beating from your real issue 2)When cold cranking and not firing. The cranking and not starting if it only occurs when cold is more likely due to a
faulty ECT(engine coolant temperature) sensor not telling your main computer to enrich the fuel air mix to compensate for the colder temperature. Its a 15$ part and not too difficult to change yourself. See FAQ's for details on this and other likley culprits(there are a few other things which can cause this as well). Read FAQ's. It will detail additional items to check like spark, or pulling a plug after extended cranking to see if the plugs are "wet" or "dry"
